Premise: In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after,... More »

Paramount Home Entertainment will release Super 8 on a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack on November 22, 2011. The movie will come with a bunch of bonus material including a commentary audio track by director J.J. Abrams.

Super 8 was one of the summer 2011's hits, grossing $150 million dollars at the domestic box office. It was Abrams' homage to the fantastical movies of Steven Spielberg and his Amblin production company that were made in the 1980s, and received solid critical reviews upon opening.

Over two hours worth of bonus material are on the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack (a stand-alone DVD version of Super 8 will also be available but it will only contain the movie as well as a digital copy.)

The Super 8 Blu-ray is presented in 1080p high definition with English 7.1 Dolby TrueHD, French 5.1 Dolby Digital, Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital, Portuguese 5.1 Dolby Digital and English Audio Description with English, English SDH, French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles. The DVD is presented in widescreen enhanced for 16:9 televisions with English 5.1 Surround and English, French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles. The Digital Copy is presented in English 2.0 Stereo with no subtitles.

Paramount is placing a suggested retail price of $39.99 on the Blu-ray/DVD combo and $29.99 for the DVD version.

By way of an announcement on Twitter, sneak previews for Super 8 are taking place today across North America.

Twitter users can follow the announcement and discussion by searching for conversations using the hashtag #Super8Secret. The studio has also sponsored Twitter with the hashtag as a promoted trend, making it easier for users to click on a direct link and purchase tickets for the early screenings in their area. Audience members that buy a ticket will also be able to use it to get a free popcorn at the theater.

"With Super 8, J.J. and Steven have created a really fun and engaging movie for all ages," said Rob Moore, the vice chairman of Paramount Pictures. "We are excited to finally get it out into the marketplace and using this sneak preview promotion with Twitter to kick start the film's release, is an unprecedented way to get people into theaters and talking about the movie."

If you missed it, here was the Super 8 Superbowl spot that aired this afternoon during commercial breaks:

And in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, Super 8 director J.J. Abrams reveals for the first time new story details about his film. We now know that the movie is intended to have a feel to 1980s Amblin movies where children went on extraordinary adventures, such as E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, The Goonies, Poltergeist and Gremlins. The story is set in 1979 and follows six children that are making their version of a zombie movie using a Super 8 camera. They accidentally film the derailment of a train and of a frightening creature that emerges from the wreckage.

Abrams told the paper that he was worried that his film couldn't compete against the strong viewer awareness of other summer 2011 competitors, and that he felt that he had to talk more about what Super 8's story is to level the playing field. Read the full interview.

It looks like Super 8 has been retitled for the Brazilian audience. What's the new name for J.J. Abrams' forthcoming alien monster movie? Would you believe it's...Darlings?

Movieweb has the Brazilian trailer for the picture on their site and the proof is right there. While the site contacted Paramount to see if a name change was also in the cards for American audiences, the studio hadn't responded to the question.

June 10, 2011 is the date that Paramount has decided to release Super 8. Other big summer pictures opening on that day include Universal's Fast Five and the Warner Bros. romantic comedy Something Borrowed.

Sunday, September 19, 2010

The first two cast members for Super 8are Kyle Chandler and Elle Fanning. Chandler is known to watchers of NBC's Friday Night Lights as Coach Taylor while Elle is the younger sister of Dakota Fanning.

Fanning is 12-years-old and would fit the casting description leaked in May for a part in the movie: "Female 13-14. A natural beauty — she is stunning, but not the 'cheerleader' type. Strong and confident, but has an underlying sadness. Should have a Midwestern feel."

The curtain has been raised on J.J. Abrams next (and super secret) movie project. It indeed is called Super 8 and Abrams is directing from his own screenplay. The producers are Steven Spielberg, Abrams and Bryan Burk. The film is a co-production between Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and Abrams' Bad Robot.

This information comes not from an official announcement from Paramount Pictures but by the title credit card seen at the end of the Super 8 teaser trailer, set to begin showing in front of screenings of Iron Man 2 beginning tomorrow.

A description of the trailer follows:

Spoiler Alert!We've hidden this text because it may contain spoilersShow Hidden Text

We see a quick display of blurry images and hear the background chatter of what sounds like a police radio band. Smash cut to a black screen and the following sentence:

"In 1979, the U.S. Air Force closed a section of Area 51."

Cut to a close-up of a railroad crossing guard coming down somewhere remote and at night. The headlights of a speeding pick-up truck appear in the distance.

Cut back to a new title card: "All materials were to be transported to a secure facility in Ohio."

Smash cut back to the speeding pick-up, now breaking through the wood safety rail blocking traffic through the rail tracks. The truck's breaks, swinging to a stop on the tracks. It then accelerates down the tracks towards the headlight of the oncoming train.

Cut to the point-of-view of the driver. As the railway planks speed by under us the light of the oncoming train grows in intensity. The train sounds its warning horn.

New title card: "From executive producer Steven Spielberg". More police-sounding radio chatter is heard.

Now we see the truck smash head-on into the locomotive engine. A fireball erupts as debris flies. The train starts to derail, cars flying off into the night. We can see from the light of the explosions that the train is indeed in a remote area with no civilization or people around it.

New title card: "And director J.J. Abrams"

Now we see the aftermath of the train derailment. Cars little the ground around the railroad. Small fires are burning. There is silence until the sound of something striking the inside of one of the boxcars is heard and seen.

New title card: "Next summer"

Then, very quickly, before the resolve back to the train accident, there appears to be a flash of what looks like a human skull frozen in a scream, followed by what looks like film stock that's burned or charred displayed against a white light. Very rapid.

More banging is heard. A power pole falls against the boxcar, setting off a shower of sparks. This time we see the side of the boxcar bulge outward as something inside strikes against it powerfully.

New title card: "It arrives"

Close-up view of the door of the fallen steel boxcar. The logo of the U.S. Air Force is on it as well as a circular wheel to open the door. We see more strikes from inside against the side of the box car -- they're punches, bucking the metal outward. The wheel begins to spin slowly and then rapidly before finally flying off.

Rapidly: An explosion of light as the camera pulls back. We can see that we're now looking at the close-up of the lens of a film projector that's been turned on. We can see some sort of image before the film ends and a stream of letters quickly fly up the inside of the lens.

New title card: "SUPER 8" followed by the film's known credits (Spielberg, Burk, Abrams).

The film's website has also launched: www.super8-movie.com. As of late this evening there's nothing much to see on the site except for the close-up of the film projector and the ability to join several social media outlets to promote the movie.
